Our Story

WHO ARE WE?

Transforming dog training through relationship-based education

Changing the outlook on training through an organic and relationship based approach through a classical and operant way of teaching both humans and canine. We do not approach training through a lens of a one way method works for all.

We look more in depth to tailor our sessions to the canine in front of us and identify the flaws and thrive through their success and build upon a level that can blossom. We prioritise through education as we believe that this is the way forward for any process.

By starting off with a wealth of knowledge we are able to teach and instruct with techniques and training systems to ensure that you get what it is you are looking for from our professional trainers. We will guide you through your dog training journey to the best of our knowledge and strive towards your goal to have your canine educated.

Tāne Hodgson - Head Trainer and Operator

TANE PETERSEN HODGSON

Head Trainer / Operator

My name is Tane Hodgson and I run and operate 100%K9. I am driven by the thirst for knowledge of canine behaviour and psychology to carve the pathway for society to recognise that owning a dog is a privilege. My vision as a canine educator is for all dogs to thrive in an environment that is safe, enriching and unlocks their full potential. My commitment is deeply rooted in the belief that all dogs deserve an opportunity to be the dog people dream of. That's why, at 100%K9, we ensure that there is “No Canine Left Behind”.

RN Pitbull - The Backbone

My name is Bella and the back bone of 100%K9. I am the one behind the scenes that is and will be working with your dog whether they are on Adventure walks or our Behaviour consultations. I didn't know that this is what life looked like years down the track but Tāne swept me off my feet, gave me a home and now has given me a purpose. I am one of the highest paid employee in Auckland so I'm over the moon to do what I do.
